HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

2013-12-24T21:19:00.001+00:00

Hi!

I found this picture on the internet.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Little update on me:

- I managed to keep last year's promise: no negative stuff on the blog.
- I also did a great job in life, thinking positive as much as I was able, and I improved a lot.
- I believe I reached the next step on the Road and it feels good :) New goals, new tasks, new knowledge awaiting.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

2013-11-28T21:14:00.000+00:00

Hello people!

Long time not been here.
Let's see what was going on with me:

My job is good, got pay rise after 3 months, very good.

My old bicycle had serious damage in the rear wheel. After approx 15000 km no wonder it happened. I bought a new one and replaced the freewheel and it was excellent, but then the speed control broke down... plastic. Okay, good bye old bike, I bought a new one :)

Scooter's break light was not working, but I fixed that too. Chinese workers can hide connections and cables pretty good :D

I also built a kneeling stool. No more back pain, no more hurt neck.

I used to snore like an animal. Mostly when I'm too tired. I can stop it when I program my mind not to snore, but most of time I don't because I'm lazy to do that. So I bought something, and no more snoring :D Snoreeze oral device. I highly recommend to those who have a chance to buy it. Was 35 GBP.

Finished a StarWars book from Timothy Zahn... Choices of One. Excellent novel. Never get disappointed with this great writer.

Everything is fantastic. Life is beautiful :)

LITTLE WIND AND A BROKEN WHEEL

2013-10-28T21:27:00.001+00:00

London had a small windstorm, some broken trees and walls, but nothing really serious in our area. I had to push my bicycle half way to the workplace because the rear wheel gave up :D That was funny... and it started to rain :D

BEDFRAME

2013-10-06T16:54:00.003+01:00

I finished my latest carpentry project: a bedframe with a huuuge storage space. (195 x 142 x 45) cm.
Took me 1 day to make it. Cutting timber, building the frames, and painting.
The result is great, just what we needed. More space in the bedroom, more space all over the flat.

(Who's idea? Of course it was Dewi's idea :D)

A PRODUCTIVE WEEKEND

2013-09-16T00:07:00.001+01:00

1.
Made a wall-to-wall carpet from pieces.
Heat seaming from 8am-11am.
Used 18 meter seaming tape :D
Had to take off the smoke detectors to avoid loud noise :D
Made a 2.5m x 3.5m colorful carpet.

2.
Finished the Squirrel Maze.
Painted 3x to be able to survive rain.
Will be in the garden very soon.
Photo will be available about final product later this week.

3.
Remotely fixed a computer that had .lnk extension problem.

4.
Bought a new bed mattress with pillows - memory foam.
Hope it will stop back pains in the morning :P

GPU reflow :))

2013-09-15T23:15:00.000+01:00

Neighbour's HP Pavilion G6 laptop gave up...
First the fan, than the gpu.
The notorious faulty screen, than pitch black.
And because the gpu is soldered to the motherboard, the only way to resurrect it, was a heatgun :P
So I took it apart, cut the right size of aluminium foil (10 layers approx.) and heated up for 7-8 min.
It worked.
Wonder how long will it last?...

END OF AUGUST

2013-08-31T21:16:00.000+01:00

Wow, this summer was extra nice :)
Sunny and warm for 2 months.
That's rare in England.

Okay, today we did some tree-chopping in the garden.
The place looks brighter.
Hopefully the birds won't mind the new look :D

I also finished my new furniture.
It is a combination of wardrobe, hanger, storage shelf, shoe-box, sofa and umbrella holder :)

I got 2 projects in my mind.
I want to build a swing and a shed for the garden.
Already collected some materials for them, but still need more.

I started updating the "Positive thinking" page.
Since I last posted it, I see things a tiny bit different.
I'm getting closer to the big picture :)

Here is a picture about me ... zombie-style :) Muhahaa!

UPDATE ON FLOOR LAYING 2

2013-07-19T19:52:00.000+01:00

I finished my practical exams this week.

Crap quality phone made photos are available to see under the "floor laying" page.

Next week we start our project in the college. Got 1 week to finish the job. That building was quite hot when we first visited for the measurements. I have a bad feeling about it now - no air conditioning when outside is 25˙C. And we have to wear safety boots and long working trousers :D Well that's okay because I gained a couple extra kilos that will probably gone by the end of next week :D And finally I will get my first on-site experiences.

SUNNY SUMMER

2013-07-14T13:50:00.000+01:00

Yesss, the real summer is happening and everybody enjoys it.

We spending lot of relaxing time in the garden, we have been boating on the lake, and finally we can forget about the grey clouds for a while :D

I finished the CSCS test 100% on Friday. Now I can go on construction sites and have a serious practice in floor laying.

More test coming but at least this one is behind me now.

GOOD TO KNOW - TATTOOS

2013-06-13T18:09:00.001+01:00

(source: Popular Science, Dr. Anne Laumann)

Tattoo:
- injecting ink with a needle into the second layer of the skin.
- white blood cells will attack the ink and take it into the bloodstream, so it can get carried out of the body.
- but the pigments are too big and cannot be eaten up by white blood cells. So they remain there with the new color.
- there are 3 ways to remove tattoos: burning out, cutting out, laser treatment.
- to remove a tattoo, laser is the safest and most effective way but also expensive and time consuming.
- the laser breaks up the pigments so they get smaller and the white blood cells can destroy them. This treatment is also not 100% guarantee because there is a chance for skin discoloration, especially when the tattoo is made with many different colors.
- so if u see a chance that u could regret a tattoo later, better don't go for it.
